Expectations of westerners who believe in russian opposition: the movie about Navalny winning is a big fuck you to putin and a symbol of unity against the bloody warmongerin kremlin regime!

Reality: russian liberals on social media gloating at Ukrainians being angry that a vocally xenophobic person who supported the occupation of Crimea is heralded as a hero in the middle of a seemingly never-ending war; russian liberals mocking Ukrainians for writing that it'd be a common courtesy for Navalny's wife at least to talk about the aforementioned war and saying that Navalny family can't be expected to support Ukraine now that people are mean to them on the internet; russian liberals going 'reparations?? my family would never give a penny to 'slur for Ukrainians' 'slur for Georgians' 'slur for Chechens'...

#for a millionth time #our enemy is not just putin but awhole russian political culture whose backbone is and always has been ugly imperialism #which most russian so-called liberals are in no way free of #and no they don't want to reflect on #cause they feel so little responsibility for the countless suffering their country brings upon others #that the mere mention of it makes their 'no to war' turn into 'you know what? it's all their own fault. kill khohols!'#if navalny was the president russia would still try to hold onto occupied Ukrainian territories #would go on totally destroying Belarusian language and culture #would continue if not double-down on oppressing it's POC (ffs navalny took part in nazi marches)#because it would still be russia with the tiniest most superficial changes #Ukraine
